152161 2003-06-13 04:36:00 Im talking older games. Although I personally dont want to leave the comfort of XP at this point (so Im not asking about emulators or older technology)

So What games are worth getting, as Ive been looking at the stuff thats being released at the moment & in the near future & it all just seems tired old variations on a theme.

I was asking some friends & was recommended Homeworld & Planescape as a couple of very unique & in depth games.

Any other suggestions welcome :-)

Cheers


Chill.

BTW - I love those old Sonic the Hedgehog games :-)

152163 2003-06-13 04:44:00 Day of Defeat - Seconded .

Homeworld - great game . Homeworld 2 coming soon .

Planetscapte Torment - nice RPG with a nice variation on the usual themes .

Total Annihilation: Still the best RTS ever, IMHO .

Rise of Nations: A new one . Think Age of Empires 3, really .

One of my all time favourites is the great Jagged Alliance 2 by Sirtech . Cheesy in the extreme and only applicable if you like turn-based tactical combat with tons of guns . . .
